2024 Releases I Was Excited About But Still Haven’t Read










Top Ten 2024 Releases I Was Excited About But Still Haven’t Read
I was really excited about all of these books, but either I couldn’t get hold of a copy, or I just never got around to reading them. I have listed the titles in publication order.
- The Tainted Cup (Robert Jackson Bennett)
- Speculations in Sin (Jennifer Ashley)
- A Grave Robbery (Deana Raybourn)
- The Backyard Bird Chronicles (Amy Tan)
- A Collection of Lies (Connie Berry)
- A Deceptive Composition (Anna Lee Huber)
- The Black Bird Oracle (Deborah Harkness)
- The King’s Messenger (Susanna Kearsley) (note: I bought the UK edition, so I have had it since late last summer. The US edition will be released in March 2025.)
- The Mirror (Nora Roberts)
- The Secret of the Three Fates (Jess Armstrong)
Honorable Mention
I have all three of these in Kindle format.
- When the Moon Hatched (Sarah A. Parker)
- Empire of Shadows (Jacquelyn Benson)
- A Letter to the Luminous Deep (Silvie Cathrall)
Currently Reading
I would have added these two also, but I’m currently reading both of them:
- Murder at King’s Crossing (Andrea Penrose)
- Miss Amelia’s List (Mercedes Lackey)

I really enjoyed The Tainted Cup! I hope you like it when you get to it. And I’ve been curious about The Backyard Bird Chronicles since I heard my parents talk about it a little while ago — I haven’t read it, but I think now that I’d like to.

Nice list! I haven’t read any of those. I hope you’ll get a chance to at least read a few in 2025.

Katherine @ I Wish I Lived in a Library
I really enjoyed The Mirror, A Collection of Lies, A Deceptive Composition, Speculations in Sin, and A Grave Robbery. I think The Mirror and Speculations in Sin were my favorites though all made good progress for the series. I really want to read the Amy Tan and there are several others you mention that look good. Hopefully you get to these soon!

I am reading The Tainted Cup right now for my mystery book club. I don’t know if I will finish it in time, but I sure hope so. I am enjoying it so far. I loved Speculations in Sin! But I have loved every book in that series so far. I really want to read several others on your list as well. I hope you enjoy all of these when you do eventually read them!

I’m determined to pick up Tainted Cup before the sequel comes out as the hype has majorly gotten to me. I’ve also wanted to get to A Discovery Of Witches for years now 🙈 and have seen a couple of people raving about Deanna Raybourn lately and want to add something by her to my priority list too.
I loved Letters To The Luminous Deep 😍 and also have When The Moon Hatched on my TBR. I hope you enjoy all of these whenever you get around to reading them.
Dini @ dinipandareads
The Tainted Cup is one that I was also very excited about but never got around to reading. Maybe this year! I’ve heard great things about it and I hope you enjoy it whenever you get around to it 🙂 Happy reading!
